Common People Gocco Prints

Meet the common people —a lovingly hand-gocco-printed tribute to the beautifully average.

These prints celebrate the unsung heroes of everyday life. Not famous. Not fancy. They live down the street. They borrowed your colander once. The kind who overthink texts, forget what they walked into the room for, and eat cereal for dinner. The everyday common people.

Available individually or as a set.

Frame them or gift them, but check back — more common people are moving into the neighborhood soon.

What is a Gocco print?

Print Gocco is a small, self-contained screen printing system developed in 1977 by the Riso Kagaku Corporation (the same lovely folks that currently make the Risograph printing machines). It was created as a fun and easy way to make cards and small prints at home. The method is similar to screen printing, but uses a different process.

Sadly, manufacturing of the Print Gocco system was discontinued in 2008, so materials have become incredibly difficult to source, and are often finicky due to age. New Print Gocco runs are increasingly rare to find, and difficult to make.
